{quote} The difference being in 2-3 years.....15% of something is better than 80% of nothing. In silver, you keep your allocation for 3 months. If you hit minimum score, you are guaranteed allocation regardless of performance against others. Allocations are cumulative, so hit score 3 months in a row and you are trading 3 allocations. All of the talk about consistency and the need to keep performing well.....isn't that what we should be doing. In the remote prop, if you don't, you blow the account. I guess it depends on whether one is looking long...
What happens to your allocations in a Darwin if say 3-6 months have passed but you didn’t show any trading activity at all? No profits, no losses. You will lose all your allocations for inactivity and can start from scratch again?

„longer term“. I agree but who knows how long they will stay in business / offer such program.

there is another prop firm data leak. From one of the top 3 firms. The top 3 firms are fundednext ftmo and fundingpips. I doubt its ftmo because they are coder types so i would say if you have accounts at fundednext or fundingpips i would recommend changing passwords at the least.

This is a new one. The ACG i presumed everyone knew, they are also not a top 3 firm.

I paid 160$ on each 50k account lifetime for tradovate... Its 85$ for 150k now i think this is right time to upgrade 50k with 150k accounts coz 5k drawdown is all i need to pull 300$ a day which is 5% risk of 5k which is good for me... Right now pulling 300-400$ with 2500$ drawdown is huge risk and higher chances of failures.
-Perhaps, with the amount of extra work that you will have to do on the 150k accounts, maybe it would be better to simply pad the 50k account to match the 5k draw-down allowance? I haven't done the math, so I could be wrong.

Traders at Darwinex are not signal providers as you presumed.
-Did not presume, but was told that.

Just curious, do you have association with Darwinex?

Some years ago i remember when prop firm enthusiasts were insulting all the companies with subscription models now we are worshipping.
-Which I never really understood. I understand that people hate subscription models, in general, but they always made sense in this case, given how these prop models work.

And I agree with you about Darwinex, it seems that they are playing a different game. As you say, some predatory aspects, but also a better model than what we see elsewhere (from the firm's perspective). From the trader's perspective, I would probably say that they are not the best choice, but this ignores longevity.

All CFD brokers should just close their business. The vast majority of traders will fail and lose their deposits. Those brokers could just tell you that you will lose your deposits please stop trading, but they do not.
-Such comparisons could lead to unfavorable speculation.

Personally I am not trading futures , but here is a vid about some of the problems apex is having rn. Informative and funny, this guys always has me cracking up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNtmexQuNsY
I may be mistaken, but didn't this person have a signal service for Nadex binary options years ago?
The leak that Taskid mentioned was Funding Pips traders. However, Khaled said that:
1. It was not in FP but in match trader
2. Done by an guy that is now employed by FP
3. Sent proposals for several CEOs offering the database
4. Khaled saying that this was to see who would bite the bait and wanted to purchase the database

How can people be abandoning CFD prop space when you can never get bored ?

{quote} Yes, only the signal account tab is open during the 15 trading days "calibration stage". Once my darwin is created, I will the have a quote and the other tabs will be accessible. {image}
That makes sense. I remember beefing my trades up to 10-12 lots and my profits weren't matching my trade explorer and i was confused. That's because I couldn't see the risk reduction factor yet. It's all coming back to me now

{quote} You can't loose investors capital even if you want My VAR is 0.07 so even if I wipe out 150K profit it is difficult to loose money if investor has already allocated money. Also DARWIN algo reduces your exposure even in the background if your loosing too much. So signal account and VAR has dynamic equation. For example my VAR is 0.07 and if they see I am loosing money they can reduce to 0.01 even If they do so I can loose entire account and it will cause 2.5% loss on investors capital. If I loose 250K (entire account) Darwin index...
So how can you make any profits with 0.07 reduction? How many lots/contracts are you trading. Seems once you get down to that big of a reduction there's no way to get back to 1.0. Like being in quicksand and there's no way up

{quote} DAMN and you've been on here since 2009? That's some perserverance. Maybe I can help you with a couple channels you can learn from. Small ytbers that defenitely make most of their money from trading with multiple years experience: Fat Cat, Neoh Yong(he has a lot of discretion), Ten Trading, Benny Lane, Scott Taylor FX( i trade his with some personal modifications I learned along the way, pretty easy to learn model tbh), Aaron Trades(also too discretionary and subjective for me, as it's support and resistance). Potential bigger ytber options...
most important is to see their performance (with a good broker and verified by the broker) for last 5/10/20 years, whatever they have. or any little information is worthless, because you dont know if they can for themself make a profit from this information (and a profit is you earn much much more then you can do in a job income + invest same money with longterm profit like 12 % in average with nasdaq to compensate the risk and time for trading against work + investing).

Oh so if I slap a trade explorer on right now, it will show profit based on the risk factor and not what I show in my MT5?

It should show the profits you made on the platform. Mine shows 124K but my Darwinex quote shows 105K (1.05)

Oh, I don't have a darwinex quote yet. That comes after the 15 days as well.
I am really curious though, if my DD is -0.74 and my profit is 2.11, my risk should be above 1.0 and not reduced or am I not thinking about this correctly?
Go this email from FXIFY today. I know nobody likes the 3 phase. It's 5% per phase profit target.

With Promo Code prices are:
10K = $30
15K = $40
25K = $75
50K = $125
100K = $200
200K = $400
400K = $800
